The City of Burlington N.C. came and trashed my personal property , and I presume went through items they could prosper from.... The clean up crew had possession of my property for over 24 hours before they...........presumed took it to the dump.
This all came because I inferred that their "black inspector" was acting like a typical N...R, plus I had staked Cultluss Odlsmobile, to the ground , and emailed the city I was turning it into real property versus , personal property.
They played a trick...............on a follow up inspection , of which all the items that I had ..............passed previous inspections, ................and was never told it was going to be deemed trash.
So My First Amendment Rights were taken.......................and to destroy personal property is a Crime in N.C.
But the City of Burlington N.C., ...............are the law, and Federal Law, and even their ethical procedure can change without a minutes notice.
I have all the facts..................but get this.................the county D.A. would not even consider prosecuting them.... even though I had the facts ..........................Corruption isn't the word for it.......................
